FLAVORLESS SALT

SALT-LESS SALT

Salt has many benefits and can be used for various things...

food, health and beauty, household cleaning, planting and farming and several other useful properties. If things that need salt are not salted, it can have a bland and unpleasant taste.

In the same way God has called you to be the salt of the earth. You are called to add spice and flavor to the world that is so tasteless and gloomy. Think about how you

can be salt to the world. Here's what the scripture says.....

Matthew 5:13 (KJV)

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Have you lost the saltiness of your salt? Perhaps you are entangled in the cares and business of life. Your passion for the things of God and desires to fulfill spiritual purposes have been diminished by your natural ambitions. Let's discuss:

How do people lose their saltiness?

What are some of the evidence that the flavor of salt has diminished or gone?

What are the effects and consequences as a result of a lack of savor-less salt?

When salt has lost it's savor it is not able to add flavor to anything. It becomes worthless and thrown out. It will become asphalt instead of salt. So like wise if you have lost your savor you will not be useful and cast out with severe consequences. But all is not lost you can regain your flavor.

TODAY'S FOCUS: RESTORE YOUR SALTINESS

To be salt you must be salty. The scripture above states that unsalted salt will be thrown out. However, you can restore your saltiness by renewing your commitment and passion. The world needs you and depends on you to be salt. Therefore it is important to maintain your savor to perform and deliver the nutrients for growth and development.

Salt is a necessary condiment and is used by everyone and is vital for life. However, once lost it must be regain and restored. Restoring your saltiness comes from a spirit of acknowledging that you are salt-less. It also comes from a place of understanding the purpose and use of your salt so you can add flavor and season the things that are unpalatable and dull.

The church today and many individuals today have lost their saltiness. It is evident that the savor is gone out by the many things that are happening in our personal lives and the world around us. It is time to restore the flavor- Let's discuss how to restore our saltiness:

Get right with God

Live Holy and upright

Have a consistent pray life

Forgive willingly and quickly

Love generously

......Add........

Let's not become salt with no flavor- Salt purifies, preserves, enhances and adds flavor. Salt also is the base for many products, and has many medicinal uses and properties.

In the natural salt is necessary for sea creatures to survive. Just as they need salt in their water, so does the world needs Christians to have their saltiness to impact the world around them. Salt is the only thing that can salt. That necessary ingredient is needed to bring back life and hope to the wounded and restore the joy of serving God.

Remember, you are called to be the salt of the earth. Salt is a necessary ingredient to bring life and rejuvenate. If you do not maintain your saltiness, you will be worthless and thrown out as asphalt to be walked upon. God is calling on you to be the vein that brings life to the world. Don't lose your saltiness but add flavor to the broken, the lost and those who are blind. Avoid entangling and dangling in the things that takes away your savor. So let us flavor the community and world we live in. Let's be the example that the world needs- so men will know that we are indeed the salt of the earth.

God bless you and Keep the Faith!
